Troubleshooting

What size chicken will the Oven handle?

The Oven will hold a 5-pound (2.3-kg) chicken.

When should I choose BAKE, BROIL, or AIR FRY?

Choose Bake () for foods such as roasts, potatoes, or cakes.
Choose Broil () to brown foods such as beef, chicken, fish, pork, and casseroles.
Choose Pizza () for pizza, frozen foods and snacks.
Choose AIR FRY Button for fresh or frozen foods to crisp and evenly brown.

If I want to toast bread, what setting is best?

The Toast () mode is best for toasting both sides of sliced breads. You can also use the Broil () mode for openfaced sandwiches, baguettes, and crostini. The Broil () mode activates the top heating element and is great when toasting is required on one side only. You can also flip the bread when the desired level of browning is reached.
